Application am ocmei 11, 1924, Serial at. 743,066.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LRUssELL W. CUILEN,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Hyattsville, in 'the countyof Prince 5 Georges, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain newand useful Improvements .in Route Sheets, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention consists 1n 8. new and useful to produce a route sheet inwhich there is a cartographic delineation of the route of travelaccompanied by an enumerated exposition of information relative to theroute, the delineation and exposition being so disposed as to offervisual interrelation between corresponding data uponeach feature v ofthe sheet.

In the drawing filed herewith, I have illustrated a route sheet producedby my improved process and reference thereto will render obvious thenature of my invention.

for the scope of which I refer to the claims appended hereto. v 25 Inthe drawing, the cartographic delineationplaced in themiddle of thesheet con sists of a diagrammatic map of the route to be followed by atourist travelling by auto- Washington, D. Cato a certain designatedpoint in Fredericksburg,'Va. -It is. to be understood that in thisfeature of the sheet there are to be exhibited any-and all features of acartographic nature requisite to a satissuch as the diagrammaticindication 'o landmarks, etc; The sheet illustrated in the drawing isfurther provided with an. enumerated exposition of information relativeto the aforesaid route for a trip from Washington,- D. C. to Fredericksburg, Va. This enumeration forms a column of information arranged tothe left of and inimmediate juxtaposition to the map. Thisenumeration,constituting what is-usually referred to as log of the route, comprisesaseries of statements, reading in order from the top' f of the columndownward, designed to ad- 5 vise the user of the sheet of such informaition relative to the route pursued, as for instance the mileage betweendesignated points, directions for making'proper turns, descriptions ofplaces or" landmarke, etc.-

improvement in route sheets, and is designed mobile from a certaindesignated point in factory delineation of the route disclosed e to,

The sheet is further provided with a second enumerated exposition ofinformation forming a column arranged tothe right of and in immediatejuxtaposition on the map. This enumeration, constituting a second orreverse log of the route delineated uponthe map, comprises a seriesof'sta-tements reading in order from' the- 7 bottom of the colunm upwarddesigned to advise the user of the sheet of information relative to theroute pursued upon a trip '65 from a certain designated point inFre'dericksburg, Va. to a certain designated point in Washington, D. 0.:

It is to be noted that the various features shown on the map bear thesame relation to one another as the items of information in the columnsrelating to such features. bear to one another. For example, it will beseen that the distance between the point onthe map indicating thelocation of the turn of the route in the village of Occoquan and thepoint on the map indicating the village of Woodbridge is the sameas the,distance in each enumeration between the item of information relating tothe village 8 of Occoquan and the turn to be made at that point; and theitem of information relating to the village of VVoodbr-idge and theinstructions as to the route at that point.

The foregoing described disposition of the features of the map and thelogs produces to in eitherlog, placed immediately at the side of the mapon a line with the feature on the map. With this sheet the-Iusers eyecan pick up a certain feature on the map and n te the informationrelative thereor can pick up a certain item of informa- 98 tion ineither log and note the feature on the map to which it relates. Thesheet thus afi'ords means of rapid reference of map to log, vice-versa.

will now describe the process by which 10! route sheet is produced.first draw a map showing the desired'route and. having all of therequired signs and symbols thereon'to identify the desired features ofthe route. I then list in order all the items 103 of information whichcompose the log a plicable, to the desired route. I then modi y thedimensionsof the map and the spaces my improved through cities arenecessarily more elaborate and'therefore require more space than theitems relative to the route in the country. Such items requiring acertain allowance of space in the log, the corresponding portion of theroute on the map has to be enlarged second column, and certain otheritems of in-Jv to occupy space corresponding to the space required inthe log. On the other hand,

.the spaces between certain points on the map in that portion of theroute in the country require certain spaces to delineate thecartographic features'required to be placed on the map. Thecorresponding items of information in the log have to be spaced fartherapart than their size would require, in order that they may occupyspaces correspondingto the location of the features on the map to whichthey refer. Having described my invention, what I claim is: a

1. In a route sheet, the combination of a column bearing cartographicindicia relative to a route, of travel; and-a second column bearingenumerated informative data relative to said route of travel. certainltems I of cartographic indicia being disposed in the first'columninaccordance with the location of certain items of informative data in theformative data in the second column being disposed in accordance withthe'location of certain items of cartographic indicia in the firstcolumn.

2. In a route sheet, the combination of a map; and a log, the positionof certain features on the map being determined by the position ofcertain items of information in the log, and the positionof certainother items of information in the log being determined by the locationof certain features on the map. 4

3. In a route sheet, the combination of a column bearing cartographicindicia relative to a route of travel; a second column bearingenumerated informativedata relative to said route in one direction oftravel; and a third column bearing enumerated informative data relativeto said route in the cartographic indicia being disposed in the firstcolumn in accordance with the location of certain items of informativedata in the second and third columns, and certain other items ofinformative data in the second and third columns being disposed inaccordance with the location of certain items of cartographic indicia inthefirst column.

4. In a route sheet, the'combination of a map; a lo of the route in onedirection of travel; an a log of the route in the opposite direction oftravel, the position of ceropposite direction of travel, certain itemsof tain features on the map being determined.

by the position of certain items of information in the logs, and theposition of certain other items of information in the logs beingdetermined by the location of certain features on the map.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

RUSSELL W. CULLEN.
